What's the most expensive book you ever bought ?
I'm considering a brand new $650 collection of visuals that would be very useful/inspiring and probably instantly pay for itself but I can't convince myself to bite the bullet!
There's no single book equivalent in terms of how much of a goldmine this book is.That's the original publisher price (limited run + signed by some celebrity, none of which I care about), second-hand goes for close to 2k, ouch.
- I think about a £120. I'm currently trying to sell one for £300... . I gave up trying for £450 - it's not going so well, lol.Nairn
- Use page 47 and you will earn $649.99.canoe
- Bet to an Ebay user, win winOBBTKN
- As a gift I got a first edition of Pope’s translation of the IliadGnash
- Yeah I might have to do it and maybe be one of those high price resellers when money gets tight!spl33nidoru
- Good luck Nairn, keep a price high with clear room for negotiation or they'll offer 150 vs your 300spl33nidoru

tbgood, 500 copies of that book were printed, unlikely to be found in a library sadly, They should have given you one hydro!spl33nidoru - Oh god, this one sucks. College-aged garbage was a dirty graffiti kid that somehow was dating an incredibly rich girl. Disgustingly rich.garbage
- Really bonded with the mother over the years, and as a parting gift she tried to give me her first edition signed Catcher in the Rye.garbage
- I turned it down as a point of pride.. and just saw that it sells for about $37k. I want to throw up on my younger self.garbage

- 1st edition signed catcher in the rye, geeshpinkfloyd
- $27k*, but still. @spl33, she apparently did passed a few years ago. I was part of that family for a good 7 years. The irony is the entire situation was the..garbage
- ..fam was like a real-life Glass family that Salinger would have drooled over, except extra. I can't name names, but their mansion was previously owned..garbage
- ..by a former SB-winning QB. Fam is connected to politics, there were Hollywood aspirations. It's hilarious how much I did not fit in there.garbage

- I wish the band choices were better. Journey, Elton, Steve Miller and Kiss arent my cup of tea..zardoz
